My cock agrees. Twinings should use Ana's love of their tea in a commercial. Twinings English Tea: For the woman who wants to speak directly to her lover's dick. Special *wink* ginger root *wink* recipe inside every box.

Buzzfeed reviews Grey. I...have no words. I've never read these books and I wish I could get back the minute it took to read 3 passages of this review. Ana has an inner goddess and a conscious subconscious. Christian gets a sentient wang. These books made someone a zillionaire. Let that sink in. |

Someone should write a parody from the point of view of everyone around them that has to deal with this couple. And everyone's opinion should be that Ana could do better.

I'm afraid I will now have to use the phrase "SHOUTY CAPITALS" whenever the urge strikes me. What I really want to know is how was the tampon scene depicted from Mr. grey's cock's POV? My gag reflex agrees.

A loooong time ago, like the mid 70s(?) I think it was Reader's Digest that ran a series of informative articles about anatomy. They were all titled "I am Joe's heart" or "I am Joe's brain", Joe being an every man. I guess they didn't do Joe's ovaries, etc. These were widely parodied, with pretend articles like "I am Joe's uvula" or "I am Joe's isle of langerhans". So if the pov of Mr. Grey's cock is successful, there could be more. Maybe Ana's pancreas's pov next, then Mr. Grey's nose hair narrates, then Ana's kneecaps, perhaps each kneecap narrating alternate chapters. The mind boggles!
PS At the public library book sale last week there were copies of 50 Shades all over the place. Someone asked one of the staff if they had any 50 Shades and about 7 people around the room held up multiple copies for him. Dude, you could paper your bathroom and the rest of your house with from 50 Shades and support the library at the same time! They also had many copies of A Million Little Pieces. I still found treasure, though.

I have fond memories of that series. "I am Jane's Ovary", read when I was 10, was VERY informative.

Special *wink* ginger root *wink* recipe inside every box.This reminded me of the Beer episode from Blackadder: "While Baldrick and I were preparing the Turnip Surprise We had a surprise! We came across a turnip that was exactly the same shape as a thingy!" "...But it was jolly funny! I found it particularly ironic, 'cause I've got a thingy shaped like a turnip." |

So we did get the book in yesterday at my store, and it's on an end cap, discounted to make quick sales of course (25%). Going by the samples of what I've seen, though, it's even more inappropriate for kids to pick up and casually read than FSOG was. There's actual hard-core language in it, instead of "down there." (My store has an unspoken identity as a "family store.") From the recaps I've seen so far of Grey, from the first chapter or two at least, it's actually better than FSOG, or more interesting at least, and more traditionally porn novel, the plotline where a kinky dom has his way with some sweet young thing. It's effective as that. But not as romance or a character study. If the previous three books did not exist, I'd maybe buy it and continue to read it. But I won't, because it recaps the previous three, and they were a total snore. Funny recap (Also from The Guardian) here.Alys Marchand's snarky chapter by chapter recaps |

So much surface level. You would think a story about a dude who basically suffers from PTSD due to childhood trauma could be compelling. What happens when feelings get involved and he starts to lose the control he insists he must have at all times? What a potentially rich character, even in a porny story.
Nope. Let's not actually go there. This is just a story about a dude constantly thinking and reacting to his dick. Great. We've never seen that before.
